Vivotek AWFET060C065 4-Port PoE+ Switch

Vivotek AWFET060C065 4-Port PoE+ Switch

The Vivotek AWFET060C065 is a compact, enterprise-grade 4-port PoE+ Ethernet switch engineered for IP surveillance, VoIP, and networked security deployments. This switch combines four Fast Ethernet PoE+ ports with two additional Fast Ethernet uplink ports, delivering a total 60W power budget to simultaneously support multiple high-demand devices. Its plug-and-play design, combined with robust protection features, makes it an ideal solution for small to medium-sized installations requiring reliable power delivery and data transmission over standard network infrastructure.

Key Features

• 4 PoE+ Ports (10/100 Mbps): Each port delivers up to 30W per port at 54VDC, supporting IEEE 802.3af/at powered devices including IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points
• 60W Total PoE Power Budget: Sufficient capacity to power multiple high-wattage devices simultaneously without voltage degradation
• 2 Standard Fast Ethernet Uplink Ports: Enable cascading and network expansion with additional switches or core infrastructure
• Auto-MDI/MDI-X: Automatically detects and adjusts cable type, eliminating the need for crossover cables
• PoE Device Auto-Detection: Intelligently identifies powered devices and delivers appropriate power levels, protecting non-PoE equipment
• Surge Protection: 4KV protection on both PoE and AC inputs safeguards connected devices and infrastructure from power anomalies
• Non-Blocking 1.2 Gbps Switching Capacity: Ensures full-duplex, lag-free data transmission across all ports
• Extended Temperature Range: Operates reliably in environments from 0°C to 50°C, with storage capability to -20°C

Technical Specifications

Ideal Applications

This switch is purpose-built for IP surveillance system deployments, small office network expansions, and locations where multiple PoE-powered devices require centralized power and data distribution. It pairs seamlessly with Vivotek IP cameras and third-party PoE-compliant equipment, simplifying installation while reducing cable runs and electrical infrastructure costs. Its compact footprint suits both wall-mounted and rack-adjacent installations.

The AWFET060C065 strikes a practical balance between port density and power delivery for entry-level surveillance deployments. The 60W aggregate budget allows pairing of four 15W devices or two 30W units, making it suitable for mixed-load scenarios common in small retail, office, and light industrial settings. Auto-detection and surge protection minimize configuration overhead and protect against common power-related failures.

The 1.2 Gbps backplane prevents bottlenecking even with simultaneous HD video streaming across multiple ports. For installations requiring Gigabit performance or VLAN segmentation, users should evaluate higher-tier models; however, for Fast Ethernet–capable cameras and standard networking needs, this switch delivers reliable performance at an accessible price point.
